How about we simply focus our energy to things we can control and worry less about things out of our scope?
Worrying about whether or not there is a hidden agenda played out by some powerful small group of billionaires might not always be the best time investment.
Yes, but the division created relationally between families, friends, and communities who don't know how to discuss issues like this is more what I care about. People can passionately disagree about something, but if they can't talk about it reasonably together, then that division does hinder their ability to be successful at the things they can control.
It's maybe not for everyone to be able to reason and discuss things with an open mindset.
Sometimes the only real option without falling into chaos is a belief system that, although not always based on reason and facts, provides enough certainty to cope with the challenges of life.
Changing someone's mind doesn't always fall in the category 'do-able' or 'in the zone of things I can control'.
I often find myself avoiding certain topics, especially with family, since that won't bring anyone closer in any way.
Bitcoin would be one of those topics :)
I'm naive enough to believe change is possible everywhere.
I've seen change in myself, so I think, fractually, it exists everywhere else as well.
I've always said the opposite of naïveté is cynism. If a choice between those must be made, the open-minded optimistic naive approach is far better.
You will certainly run into some disappointments from time to time, but don't let those take away your positive perspective 💪
